Leland T. “Lebo” Garner was welcomed into the world on April 13, 1968 to the late Peggy Garner and the late Charles Newby. On October 30, 2017, at the young age of 49, heaven gained an angel and Leland gained his wings. Leland was a member of and baptized at Bethsaida Baptist Church. He helped create poems and short stories for Sunday services and also served as an usher. Leland was a gentle giant with a heart of gold.
